The third watch!NovelFire)
Today, Chen Xijun really lost more than she bargained for by initially hoping to capture Ye Chenfeng. However, she hadn’t anticipated that Ye Chenfeng would still escape in the end, and more importantly, he unmercifully stole her first kiss. She could tolerate the kiss on her cheek before, but this time, he kissed her lips, bidding farewell to the word "first kiss" for Chen Xijun.
"Ye Chenfeng, you wait!"
Chen Xijun soon calmed down and tried every possible way to get rid of the handcuffs. She had learned lock-picking, but without any tools at hand, even the best skills were futile.
At that moment, Chen Xijun truly wanted to rip off the steering wheel!
Eventually, Chen Xijun’s cold eyes fixed on the key Ye Chenfeng had left in the back seat corner, but Ye Chenfeng had calculated everything precisely, placing it just out of her reach.
This really troubled Chen Xijun. She tried various methods and positions, but ultimately she was just a bit too short to reach it. She hated Ye Chenfeng to death in her heart and also cursed her own arms for not being a little longer. Just a little bit would have done!
Finally, Chen Xijun, this fierce police officer, was drenched in sweat, not knowing if it was from exhaustion or anger.
Just at the critical moment, Chen Xijun saw someone crossing the road in the middle of her vision, leaping right over the center barrier!
Got it!
Chen Xijun’s eyes lit up fiercely, she could no longer care about whether that person was civilized or not, as long as she was saved.
Holding her breath and gathering her strength, Chen Xijun’s eyes shot out two beams of light, and in the cramped space, she leapt up, executed a flip, and then stretched her legs straight out sweeping towards the corner of the backseat. In an instant, her feet clamped down forcefully, followed by another flip, and she landed steadily.
Although Chen Xijun was drenched in sweat from exhaustion, she now held a glimmering key in her hand.
The fruits of victory were hard-earned, giving Chen Xijun an urge to burst out laughing towards the sky.
"Click!"
A sound rang out, and the handcuffs on Chen Xijun’s wrists opened, the red marks quite conspicuous, representing the shame Ye Chenfeng had inflicted on her today.
"Ah! Truly one’s own actions lead to one’s own downfall!" Chen Xijun sighed deeply; the handcuffs were put on by herself, but in the end, they became her own pitfall. She couldn’t blame Ye Chenfeng for this...
"Right, Ye Chenfeng, where will you run to?" Chen Xijun quickly got out of the car, wanting to chase after Ye Chenfeng.
"Captain Chen, hello!"
But as soon as Chen Xijun got out of the car, her eyes met several people staring intently at her.
However, she recognized everyone, shockingly, it was Gu Shaoqing and several others from the Six Fan Sect.
"Gu Shao, what are you doing here?" Chen Xijun asked, her heart sinking at the same time.
And she suddenly understood everything, she had been naive and had fallen into the trap. Gu Shaoqing had seemingly casually let her go last night, but in reality, he had secretly ordered people to monitor her, using her to find Ye Chenfeng.
Such profound scheming!
Gu Shaoqing, superficially refined and distinguished looking, was actually very crafty, calculating every step meticulously.
Chen Xijun’s heart sank, and she silently rejoiced: Fortunately, Ye Chenfeng had escaped, otherwise he would definitely have ended up in the hands of Gu Shaoqing and his men.
Ye Chenfeng was the most formidable opponent she had ever encountered, too challenging to ignore. Only she could capture him, and no one else.
In an instant, Chen Xijun dismissed the idea of finding Ye Chenfeng. Capturing Ye Chenfeng was not urgent and could wait until Gu Shaoqing and the other young masters had left. Motivated by self-interest, Chen Xijun made such a decision spontaneously.
"I had heard that the Fourth Master’s illegitimate son, Zhang Wanda, is a current student at Jiangnan University, so I came to look around and investigate some matters. I didn’t expect to meet Captain Chen! What a coincidence!" Gu Shaoqing said, gazing at Chen Xijun with deep affection.
Chen Xijun avoided his somewhat intense gaze and couldn’t help asking, "Does Master Gu have any clues?"
"Of course, there are clues, but I suppose Captain Chen has already grasped them!" Gu Shaoqing said with a smile.
Chen Xijun’s expression changed, "What do you mean by that, Master Gu?"
"Captain Chen, don’t misunderstand. I mean no offense. I only hope to cooperate with Captain Chen to solve two cases together!" Gu Shaoqing expressed his sincerity.
He was not asking Chen Xijun to assist peripherally but to collaborate directly on solving the cases, giving Chen Xijun a significantly important role.
This indicated that Gu Shaoqing recognized Chen Xijun’s exceptional abilities and anticipated that Chen Xijun was in possession of extensive clues. Solving the cases would be a great help to him. Moreover, and most importantly, Gu Shaoqing wished to learn more about Chen Xijun.
"Ha ha!" Chen Xijun let out a cold laugh, "Master Gu, your Six Fan Sect seems to look down upon local police like us. Collaborating with us on case investigations – are you joking?"
Gu Shaoqing showed an apologetic smile, "Captain Chen, don’t be offended. It’s probably my junior brothers and sisters who were disrespectful. They lack experience and couldn’t see your true skill. If I’m not mistaken, Captain Chen must know who the murderer is!"
At the same time, Gu Shaoqing’s eyes seemed to shoot out two beams of electric light, suddenly locking onto Chen Xijun.
Chen Xijun’s heart shook, Gu Shaoqing was indeed formidable.
But Chen Xijun’s expression did not waver at all, "Master Gu is really joking. If I knew who the murderer was, I would definitely capture him. Besides, this case is under the responsibility of the Six Fan Sect, how dare I interfere!"
"Captain Chen, I misspoke. Please forgive my words!" Gu Shaoqing began to apologize.
"It’s alright, Master Gu. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now!" Chen Xijun left these words behind and departed.
Gu Shaoqing watched as Chen Xijun’s car disappeared, remaining silent.
"Master Gu, if you ask me, this woman definitely knows who the murderer is. Why don’t we just catch her and find out from her directly!" Peng Yu said nonchalantly.
Gu Shaoqing didn’t speak, but a cold glance at Peng Yu promptly shut him up.
"Brother Gu, Chen Xijun appearing near Jiangnan University for no reason suggests that the person is closely linked to Jiangnan University, especially since Zhang Wanda is also a student there. We could start investigating people who have conflicts with Zhang Wanda at Jiangnan University and concurrently investigate the people around Chen Xijun, to glean some clues from them!" Liang Hongjun approached with a clear plan.
Gu Shaoqing nodded again and again, "Hongjun, you’re right. You and You Ming handle the investigation at Jiangnan University. I’ll meet with Chen Xijun personally!"
"Understood, Brother Gu!"
"By the way, where’s You Ming?" Gu Shaoqing asked.
"He’s pursuing the person who just met with Chen Xijun and we’ve lost contact! He’s probably still in pursuit!" Liang Hongjun replied.
"Track You Ming’s location immediately – we need to be ready to strike at any moment!" Gu Shaoqing’s eyes emitted two sharp rays of cold light.
